Any fool can make money, but it requires
a wise man to spend it judiciously. In har-
Messing yourself up in a new spring suit

plete stock of ready-madc clothing, gents
furnishing goods, shoes. hats. etc, at Leh-
mans Clothing and Shoe House. He has

The GOLD LEAF acknowledges the re-
ceipt Of a ticket of invitation from the
GIucklick German Club, of Oxford, to at

Mr. J. L. Burroughs the popular mer-
chant Of Dabney will handle British Mix
ture this season and deliver it at either
Henderson or Dabney, as may be most
convenient for purchasers. We need not
speak in terms Of praise of this admirable
tobacco fertilizer its merit is already too
we'll known to the planters of this section
where it has long been in use and high
favor.
/ Notwithstanding the severe cold weather
and the grave approximations felt for the
safety Of tobacco plants, early peaches,
etc, we are assured there will be an ample
supply left. The rain coming Immediately
after the freezing OF the ground packed the
plant beds down where they had "spewed
up from which the young plants proba-
bly, were in greater danger Of dying than
from the effects Of the cold.

How TO DETECT FRESH EGGS.-The fol
lowing is a simple French test for telling
whether eggs are fresh OF not: Dissolve
two ounces of kitchen salt in a pint OF
water When fresh-laid egg is placed i'll
this solution it will descend to the bottom
of the vessel, while one which has been
laid the day previously Will not quite reach
the bottom. If the egg be three days Old
it will float in the liquid; and il more than
three, it Will float on the surface, project
ing above the latter more and more as II
happens to be lighter with increased age.
AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO AN Flo
| QUENT MAN.-Dr. Latfcrty preached IL
Goldsb0ro last Sunday and the Messenger
speaking of his sermon says this: ut was
not utHAOhotldllEc, ouI S1'IlC, o"Aho''' "li"
pleasant not labored, but smooth and nat
ural. The continuous flow of poetcal elo-
quenca fell tremendously upon the ear and
awakened sensations like unto those
aroused when we are entranced by SYM
phonious chords of music, waited upon the
gentle zephyrS of night, as we lie midway
between reality and dream land. The
melody Of the sentences opened the door OF
the heart to the truths which they presented
and famed the love for God into more
fervent glow"

and timely action of MI Saml Belts who
